Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Skipper Drei is a 11 year old dachshund and chihuahua mix (chi-weenie). He is red and weighs 12 pounds. Skipper came to Diamond Dachshund Rescue with his son (George Youngster) and another fur family member (Princess Emerald) because sadly his human dad passed away. Skipper is sweet, calm and very quiet. His favorite thing to do is lay around all day and sleep. He also enjoys the sunshine. He is good with the other dogs in his foster home. He's good with adults and kids. We aren't sure about cats because his foster home doesn't have any. Skipper was at the vet and had all his vaccinations done. He was also neutered and had a dental. Skipper did have his front leg amputated. It was determined by the vet that it was causing him some pain. Skipper was injured as a puppy, his paw was broken and it didn't heal right. He would limp when he walked all the time. The vet advised this would improve his quality of life. He came with almost no teeth, so what teeth he has left are bright and shiny!

Breed overview
Overview:
The Chiweenie, an adorable and increasingly popular designer breed, is a delightful cross between the spirited Chihuahua and the charming Dachshund. Originating in the United States, these small companions inherited a unique blend of traits from their parent breeds. Physically, they typically possess a long, low body reminiscent of the Dachshund, combined with the often-large ears and expressive eyes of the Chihuahua. Their coats can vary widely in color and texture, from short and smooth to long and wiry. Temperamentally, Chiweenies are known for being loyal, affectionate, and surprisingly energetic. They often exhibit a playful and sometimes stubborn streak, making early socialization and training beneficial. Their small size makes them well-suited for apartment living and families with older children or individuals seeking a devoted lapdog. While generally robust, potential health considerations include issues common to their parent breeds, such as patellar luxation and intervertebral disc disease, making regular veterinary check-ups important for their long-term well-being.
